WyPy: A Minimal Python Wiki

WyPy implements a basic Wiki in 23 lines of the ugliest Python code I've ever seen. Clever, though, and it works fine.

Via the still-RSS-free Daily Python URL.

My jaw literally dropped when I saw the code.

Looks more like Perl than like Python, doesn't it? Well, it's for a 'Shortest Wiki' contest, I suppose. Going for the shortest possible code isn't the Python Way, so it's hardly surprising that it isn't typical Python code.

On http://www.vandervossen.net/2003/07/quick_n_dirty_rss_with_xslt I use the Daily Python URL as an example for a tutorial on screen-scraping RSS using XSLT stylesheets.
